JASON PETER TODD
Twenties? :: American :: Vigilante / Anti-Hero / Arkham Inmate
Currently in: Arkham Asylum

Character Background

  • Jason was the second Robin, following in the footsteps of Dick Grayson.
  • He was captured by the Joker and was believed to be dead, but was actually tortured by the Joker for several years.
  • Returning to Gotham, Jason was angry that he was "replaced" and never rescued, and became the Red Hood to fight back against crime in a way that Batman "never had the guts" to do. Batman stopped him, and had Jason committed to Arkham Asylum to recover from his Joker-inflicted trauma.


Raw Material

  • Jason views having been "replaced" as Robin as a personal betrayal. He feels that Batman "abandoned" him, and never tried to rescue him.
  • Batman is the last in a long line of parental role models that have let Jason down, and he's now actively hostile towards any sort of authority figure.


Plot Ideas

  • Jason is in Arkham... for now. He will be getting friendly with the other patients/inmates (particularly Harleen Quinzel), and the two will eventually break out and have Joker-damaged shenanigans. In the meanwhile, anyone who wants to get a little rowdy with the former Boy Wonder is more than welcome to try it. Can't guarantee you'll make it through the encounter with all your teeth, though.


Existing Relationships

  • Batman - Think Anakin and Obi Wan, but with more limbs and less lava. Jason is keeping his identity secret, for now.
  • Harleen Quinzel - Best frienemies. Jason insists on using her real name, because "that's who she is" (not what the Joker made her).


Current Plots

  • The Joke's On Us - Jason and Harley attend a mandatory support group for patients whose lives have been "affected" by the Joker.
